Russo-Japanese Incidents

Tokyo, Sept. 11.

A pronouncement made by a spokesman of the Foreign Office yesterday in connection with the recent Russo-Japanese incidents, shows that the Japanese are far from seeking at present to bring about а crisis in their already strained relations with Russia..

waters

Japan, however, he said, had committed herself to observance of the international three-mile zone, whereas the Soviet claims eight miles.

The spokesman mentioned recent cases of arrest of Japanese em- ployees of Ashing concessions or charges of having failed to observe Soviet regulations.
